At the One Blood Center there is a statistic that reads, 1 percent of the population is eligible to give blood and 1 percent of those eligible actually donate.

Just look at the wait list for human organs. There shouldn't even be one.
The Moderator wants me to start using a single thread for our discussions about our experiences donating blood.

He/she said there have been complaints about too many posts about individual blood donations.

I think donating blood, platelets, red blood cells, or plasma is one of the most selfless acts people can do even if there are gifts and the like involved.
